RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is scarce data on transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for chronic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in the setting of very severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of <20%. METHODS: We retrospectively explored periprocedural characteristics and one-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of consecutive patients with chronic FMR and very severe LVD who underwent an isolated, first-time TEER. The composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalizations constituted the primary outcome. RESULTS: Ninety-six patients (median age 69 [IQR, 55-76] years, 64 (66.7%) males, median LVEF 15 [IQR, 12-17] %) were included. In 47 (49.0%), TEER was performed urgently or in the setting of hemodynamic instability. Almost all procedures (98.0%) were technically successful, leading to ≤moderate MR in 94.7% and 90.7% of cases by 1-month and 1-year, respectively. New York Heart Association class ≤II was maintained in 60.0% of patients. One-year survival and freedom from the primary outcome were 74.0% and 50.0%, respectively. Functional and echocardiographic improvement compared to baseline was independent of procedural urgency, hemodynamic stability, and downstream left ventricular assist device implantation / heart transplantation (n = 12). Mortality was not predicted by COAPT exclusion criteria, nor was the primary outcome discriminated by published risk models. CONCLUSION: TEER for chronic FMR is feasible, safe, and efficacious in selected patients with very severe LVD. Preprocedural risk stratification in this population may be optimized.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist regarding the performance of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score among transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) patients. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate STS score accuracy, and the incremental value of post-procedural left atrial pressure (LAP). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of TEER patients between 2013 and 2020. Patients were allocated into 3 groups: high (≥8% [n = 298, 31%]), intermediate (4%-8% [n = 318, 33%]), and low (<4% [n = 344, 36%]). Primary outcomes included 1-year mortality or cardiovascular hospitalizations. Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to determine the hazard ratio of the primary outcome, and STS score accuracy was assessed by receiver operating characteristic. A spline curve was used to display the relationship between LAP and the primary endpoint. Continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) was used to determine the incremental value of LAP. RESULTS: We included 960 patients, primarily elderly (79 [70-85]), with a median STS risk of 5.6 (3-9). High-risk patients were older (83 [75-89], 81 [74-87], 72 [64-79], p < 0.001), and had more comorbidities compared to intermediate and low-risk groups. Upon Cox regression, STS score (high vs. low: HR 2.5 [1.7-3.8]; Intermediate vs. low: HR 1.8 [1.2-2.7] and LAP HR 1.03 [1.01-1.06], p = 0.007) were associated with the outcome. C statistics analysis revealed low accuracy of the STS score (AUC-0.61 [0.58-0.65, p < 0.001]). Continuous NRI analysis indicated an improvement in risk prediction of 17% (6.9-26.2), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: STS risk score has low accuracy in predicting clinical outcomes after TEER. Adding LAP measurements can improve reclassification and identify those prone to adverse outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In view of inconsistencies in threshold values of severe aortic stenosis (AS) hemodynamic indices, it is unclear what is the relative contribution of each variable in a binary classification of AS based on aortic valve replacement (AVR) indication. We aimed to assess relative discriminative value and optimal threshold of each constituent hemodynamic parameter for this classification and confirm additional prognostic value. METHODS: Echocardiography studies of 168 patients with ≥ moderate AS were included. AS types were dichotomized into Group-A, comprising moderate and Normal-Flow Low-Gradient (NFLG), and Group-B, comprising High-Gradient(HG), Low Ejection Fraction Low-Flow Low-Gradient(Low EF-LFLG), and Paradoxical Low-Flow Low-Gradient(PLFLG) AS. Aortic valve area (AVA), Doppler velocity index (DVI), peak aortic velocity, mean gradient, stroke volume index and transaortic flow rate(TFR) were assessed for A/B Group discrimination value and optimal thresholds were determined. Dichotomized values were assessed for predictive value for AVR or death. RESULTS: C-statistic values for binary AS classification was .74-.9 for the tested variables. AVA and DVI featured the highest score, and SVI the lowest one. AVA≤.81 cm2 and DVI≤.249 had 87.6% and 86% respective sensitivity for Group B patients, and a similar specificity of 80.9%. During a mean follow-up of 9.1±10.1 months, each of the tested dichotomized variables except for SVI predicted AVR or death on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: An AVA value ≤.81 cm2 or a DVI ≤ .249 threshold carry the highest discriminative value for severe AS in patients with aortic stenosis, translating into an independent prognostic value, and can be helpful in making clinical decisions.

RESUMO

We investigated the recovery pattern from acute kidney injury (AKI) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its association with long-term mortality. The retrospective study included AMI patients (2002-2027), who developed AKI during hospitalization. Creatinine (Cr) measurements were collected and categorized into 24 h timeframes up to 7 days from AKI diagnosis. The following groups of recovery patterns were defined: rapid (24-48 h)/no rapid and early (72-144 h)/no early recovery. Specific cut-off points for recovery at each AKI stage and timeframe were determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The probability of long-term (up to 10 years) mortality as a post-AKI recovery was investigated using a survival approach. Out of 17,610 AMI patients, 1069 developed AKI. For stage 1 AKI, patients with a Cr ratio <1.5 at 24 h and/or <1.45 at 48 h were defined as 'rapid recovery'; for stages 2-3 AKI, a Cr ratio <2.5 at 96 h was defined as 'early recovery'. Mortality risk in stage 1 AKI was higher among the non-rapidly recovered: AdjHR = 1.407; 95% CI: 1.086-1.824; p = 0.010. Among stages 2-3 AKI patients, the risk for long-term mortality was higher among patients who did not recover in the early period: AdjHR = 1.742; 95% CI: 1.085-2.797; p = 0.022. The absence of rapid recovery in stage 1 AKI and lack of early recovery in stages 2-3 AKI are associated with higher long-term mortality.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) adversely affect prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to assess their interaction regarding long-term survival post-AMI. METHODS: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive AMI survivors. Stratified by admission-time anemia status and CKD grade, as determined by hemoglobin and creatinine levels, the cohort was evaluated for all-cause mortality at 10 years after hospital discharge. RESULTS: A total of 11,395 patients (69.1% males, mean age 65.8 ± 13.9 years, 49.6% with ST elevation MI) were included, of whom 29.9% had anemia and 15.9% - grade 3b or higher CKD. CKD was more advanced among anemic patients and the prevalence of anemia rose as CKD grade increased (p for trend < 0.001). At 10 years, 47.8% of patients died. Notwithstanding differences in baseline characteristics, presentation, and treatment between those with various anemia status and CKD grades, anemia presence (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.32-1.49, p < 0.001) and increasing CKD grade (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.20, p for trend < 0.001) were independently associated with a higher mortality risk. The incremental hazard imposed by either anemia or more advanced CKD was limited to patients with normal renal function and up to grade 3a (in the total cohort and the conservative treatment subgroup) or 4 (in the invasive revascularization subgroup) CKD. The added risk associated with increasing CKD grade also affected non-anemic individuals irrespective of the specific CKD grade. CONCLUSION: Anemia and more advanced CKD are associated with reduced long-term survival post-AMI, inflicting higher risk when conjoined in lower-grade CKD.

RESUMO

Introduction: Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a severe complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) that can lead to poor outcomes. TAVR-in-TAVR is a promising treatment for PVL; however, reports on its safety or efficacy are limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of TAVR-in-TAVR using balloon-expandable prostheses for PVLs after TAVR. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who underwent TAVR-in-TAVR using balloon-expandable Sapien prostheses for PVL after an initial TAVR at our institution. The procedural success, in-hospital complications, all-cause mortality, and echocardiographic data for up to 2 years post-surgery were evaluated. Results: In total, 31 patients with a mean age of 81.1 ± 7.9 years and mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of 8.8 ± 5.4% were identified. The procedural success rate of TAVR-in-TAVR was 96.8% (30/31). No in-hospital deaths, cardiac tamponade, or conversion to sternotomy occurred. Re-intervention was performed in only one patient (3.2%) during hospitalization. The all-cause mortality rates at 30 days and 2 years were 0% and 16.1%, respectively. A significant reduction in the PVL rate was observed at 30 days compared with that at baseline (p < 0.01). Discussion: Our findings suggest that TAVR-in-TAVR using balloon-expandable prostheses is safe and effective for PVL after TAVR with low complication rates and acceptable long-term outcomes. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our findings.

RESUMO

Residual significant mitral regurgitation (MR) can increase the risk of adverse events after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The clinical benefits of staged transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) after TAVR remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of staged TEER for residual significant MR after TAVR. This observational study included 314 consecutive patients with chronic residual grade 3+ or 4+ MR at the 30-day follow-up after TAVR, with 104 patients (33.1%) treated with staged TEER (TEER group) and 210 (66.9%) with medical therapy alone. The primary composite outcomes were all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization at 2 years. Additional analysis, including changes in MR grade and the New York Association functional classification, and subgroup outcome comparisons based on MR etiology were also conducted. In our study, the rate of primary composite outcome was lower in the TEER group than in the medical therapy alone group (33.7% vs 48.1%, p = 0.015). Significant improvement in MR grade and New York Association class was observed in the TEER group after 2 years. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that in patients with degenerative MR, a lower incidence of composite outcome and heart failure hospitalization was observed in the TEER group (hazard ratio 0.35, 95% confidence interval 0.23 to 0.53, p <0.001). In conclusion, staged TEER after TAVR was associated with reduced MR and improved clinical outcomes. The clinical significance of MR after TAVR should be carefully evaluated, and TEER should be considered for patients with significant residual MR, particularly, those with degenerative MR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Research on the role of transcatheter heart valve (THV) deformation and calcium distribution in patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains limited. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of THV deformation on clinical outcomes in individuals with BAVs undergoing TAVR and the influence of calcium on these outcomes. METHODS: In total, 229 consecutive patients with BAVs who underwent TAVR with balloon-expandable valves and had computed tomography (CT) performed 30 days post-TAVR were analyzed. Patients were stratified into 3 groups: group 1 (n = 125), with no THV underexpansion or eccentricity; group 2 (n = 69), with underexpansion or eccentricity; and group 3 (n = 35), with both. Calcium distribution was assessed using CT, and its associations with clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality at 3 years and leaflet thrombosis at 30 days, were determined. A subgroup analysis of patients with type 1 BAVs was conducted. RESULTS: Group 3 exhibited higher rates of all-cause mortality than the other groups, along with the highest risk for hypoattenuated leaflet thickening at 30 days. Multivariate analysis identified annular and left ventricular outflow tract calcification as independent predictors of all-cause mortality and hypoattenuated leaflet thickening. In patients with type 1 BAVs, excessive calcification at the raphe and opposite leaflet were associated with all-cause mortality at 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: THV deformation post-TAVR was significantly linked to all-cause mortality in patients with BAVs. Annular and left ventricular outflow tract calcification correlated with increased risks for all-cause mortality and leaflet thrombosis.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Limited data exist on the prognostic usefulness of transthoracic echocardiography preceding MitraClip for chronic primary mitral regurgitation (MR). We evaluated the predictive ability of transthoracic echocardiography in this setting. METHODS: A total of 410 patients (median age, 83 years, 60.7% males) were included in the study. The primary outcome was the 1-year composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization. Secondary endpoints encompassed individual elements of the primary outcome, the persistence of significant functional impairment or above-moderate MR at 1 year, and above-mild MR at 1-month. RESULTS: The only parameter associated with the risk of the primary outcome was a ventricular end systolic diameter index of ≥2.1 cm/m2, corresponding to the cohort's 4th quartile (HR, 2.44; 95%CI, 1.09-4.68; P=.022). Concurrently, higher left atrial volume index (LAVi) and a mid-diastolic medial-lateral mitral annular diameter (MAD) equal to or above the cohort's median of 32.2mm were linked to a higher probability of death and heart failure hospitalization, respectively. LAVi of ≥ 60mL/m2, above-mild mitral annular calcification, and above-moderate tricuspid regurgitation conferred higher odds of functional class III-IV or above-moderate MR persistence. All variables except LAVi and MAD, as well as indexed mid-diastolic medial-lateral MAD of ≥ 20.2mm/m2 and mitral effective regurgitant orifice area of ≥ 0.40 cm2, were associated with greater-than-mild MR at 1 month. CONCLUSIONS: Preprocedural increased indexed left heart dimensions, mainly left ventricular end-systolic diameter index, MAD, mitral annular calcification, mitral effective regurgitant orifice area, and tricuspid regurgitation mark a less favorable course post-MitraClip for chronic primary MR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are scarce data regarding mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in individuals aged 90 years and above. We aimed to evaluate patient characteristics, procedural aspects, and outcomes in this rapidly growing group. METHODS: We retrospectively studied a single-centre database of 967 isolated, first-time interventions, 103 (10.7%) of which were performed in nonagenarians. Outcomes included all-cause mortality, heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, and the persistence of significant mitral regurgitation (MR) or New York Heart Association functional class III/IV during the first postprocedural year. Analyses were repeated on a 204-patient, propensity score-matched subcohort, controlling for MitraScore elements, sex, race, MR etiology, functional status, atrial fibrillation/flutter, and procedural urgency. RESULTS: Compared with subjects below 90 years of age, nonagenarians were more likely to be white women of higher socioeconomic status; had a higher interventional risk, driven mainly by age and chronic kidney disease; presented more often with primary MR (71.8 vs 39.1%, P < 0.001); and exhibited less advanced biochemical/echocardiographic indices of cardiac remodelling. Further, their procedures were more commonly nonurgent and used fewer devices. A similarly high (> 97%) technical success rate was achieved in the 2 study groups. Likewise, no intergroup differences were observed in the rates or cumulative incidences of any of the explored endpoints, and neither of the outcomes' risks was associated with age 90 and above. Comparable outcomes were also noted in the propensity score-matched subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, mitral TEER was equally feasible, safe, and efficacious in patients below and above 90 years of age.

RESUMO

AIMS: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is a known outcome predictor in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for functional mitral regurgitation (MR). We aimed to assess its prognostic yield in the setting of TEER for chronic primary MR. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a single-centre, retrospective analysis of 323 consecutive patients undergoing isolated, first-time procedures. Stratified by baseline LVGLS quartiles (≤-19%, -18.9% to -16%, -15.9% to -12%, >-12%), the cohort was evaluated for the primary composite outcome of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalizations, as well as secondary endpoints consisting of mitral reinterventions and the persistence of significant residual MR and/or functional disability-all along the first year after intervention. Subjects with worse (i.e. less negative) LVGLS exhibited higher comorbidity, more advanced HF, and elevated procedural risk. Post-TEER, those belonging to the worst LVGLS quartile group sustained increased mortality (16.9% vs. 6.3%, Log-Rank P = 0.005, HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.08-4.74, P = 0.041) and, when affected by LV dysfunction/dilatation, more primary outcome events (21.1% vs. 11.5%, Log-Rank P = 0.037, HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.02-5.46, P = 0.047). No association was demonstrated between baseline LVGLS and other endpoints. Upon exploratory analysis, 1-month post-procedural LVGLS directly correlated with and was worse than its baseline counterpart by 1.6%, and a more impaired 1-month value-but not the presence/extent of deterioration-conferred heightened risk for the primary outcome. CONCLUSION: TEER for chronic primary MR is feasible, safe, and efficacious irrespective of baseline LVGLS. Yet, worse baseline LVGLS forecasts a less favourable post-procedural course, presumably reflecting a higher-risk patient profile.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist regarding the impact of mitral annular calcification (MAC) on outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 968 individuals (median age, 79 [interquartile range, 70-86] years; 60.0% males; 51.8% with functional MR) who underwent an isolated, first-time intervention. Stratified by MAC extent per baseline transthoracic echocardiogram, the cohort was assessed for residual MR, functional status, all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalizations, and mitral reinterventions post-procedure. RESULTS: Patients with above-mild MAC (n=101; 10.4%) were older and more likely to be female, exhibited a greater burden of comorbidities, and presented more often with severe, primary MR. Procedural aspects and technical success rate were unaffected by MAC magnitude, as was the significant improvement from baseline in MR severity and functional status along the first postprocedural year. However, the persistence of above-moderate MR or functional classes III and IV at 1 year and the cumulative incidence of reinterventions at 2 years were overall more pronounced within the above-mild MAC group (significant MR or functional impairment, 44.7% versus 29.9%, P=0.060; reinterventions, 11.9% versus 6.2%, P=0.033; log-rank P=0.035). No link was demonstrated between MAC degree and the cumulative incidence or risk of mortality and mortality or heart failure hospitalizations. Differences in outcomes frequencies were mostly confined to the primary MR subgroup, in which patients with above-mild MAC also experienced earlier, more frequent 2-year heart failure hospitalizations (20.8% versus 9.6%; P=0.016; log-rank P=0.020). CONCLUSIONS: Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in patients with and without above-mild MAC is equally feasible and safe; however, its postprocedural course is less favorable among those with primary MR.

RESUMO

Little is known about the natural history of non-significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (MR and TR) following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for aortic regurgitation (AR). We retrospectively analyzed 184 patients (median age 64 (IQR, 55-74) years, 76.6% males) who underwent SAVR for AR. Subjects with significant non-aortic valvulopathies, prior/concomitant valvular interventions, or congenital heart disease were excluded. The cohort was evaluated for MR/TR progression and, based on the latter's occurrence, for echocardiographic and clinical indices of heart failure and mortality. By 5.8 (IQR, 2.8-11.0) years post-intervention, moderate or severe MR occurred in 20 (10.9%) patients, moderate or severe TR in 25 (13.5%), and either of the two in 36 (19.6%). Patients who developed moderate or severe MR/TR displayed greater biventricular disfunction and functional limitation and were less likely to be alive at 7.0 (IQR, 3.4-12.1) years compared to those who did not (47.2 vs. 79.7%, p < 0.001). The emergence of significant MR/TR was associated with preoperative atrial fibrillation/flutter, symptomatic heart failure, and above-mild MR/TR as well as concomitant composite graft use, but not with baseline echocardiographic measures of biventricular function and dimensions, aortic valve morphology, or procedural aspects. In conclusion, among patients undergoing SAVR for AR, significant MR/TR developed in one fifth by six years, correlated with more adverse course, and was anticipated by baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables.

RESUMO

Background: The prognostic significance of pulmonary venous (PV) flow reversal in degenerative mitral regurgitation (dMR) is not well-established. Objective: We aimed to assess whether reversed PV flow is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with significant dMR. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients referred to a tertiary center for evaluation of dMR of greater than moderate degree, who had normal sinus rhythm, had a left ventricular ejection fraction of above 60%, and did not suffer from any other major valvular disorders. The primary outcome was the combined rate of all-cause mortality, mitral intervention, or new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) at 5 years following index echocardiogram. Secondary outcomes included individual components of the primary outcome. Results: Overall, 135 patients (median age 68 (IQR, 58-74) years; 93 (68.9%) males; 89 (65.9%) with severe MR) met the inclusion criteria and were followed for 115.2 (IQR, 60.0-155.0) months. Patients with a reversed PV flow pattern (PVFP) (n = 34) more often presented with severe MR compared to those with a normal (n = 49) and non-reversed PVFP (n = 101) (RR = 2.03 and 1.59, respectively, all p < 0.001). At 5 years, they experienced the highest cumulative incidence of the primary outcome (80.2% vs. 59.2% and 67.3%, p = 0.008 and 0.018, respectively). Furthermore, a reversed PVFP was independently associated with a higher risk of the primary outcome compared to normal PVFP (HR 2.53, 95% CI 1.21-5.31, p = 0.011) and non-reversed PVFP (HR 2.14, 95% CI 1.12-4.10, p = 0.022). Conclusion: PV flow reversal is associated with a worse 5-year composite of mortality, mitral intervention, or AF in patients with significant dMR.

RESUMO

Background There are limited data on repeat mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for recurrent significant mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods and Results We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive patients referred to a second mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair after a technically successful first procedure. Clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic measures were assessed up to 1 year after the intervention. The composite of all-cause death or heart failure (HF) hospitalizations constituted the primary outcome. A total of 52 patients (median age, 81 [interquartile range, 76-87] years, 29 [55.8%] men, 26 [50.0%] with functional MR) met the inclusion criteria. MR recurrences were mostly related to progression of the underlying cardiac pathology. All procedures were technically successful. At 1 year, most patients with available records (n=24; 96.0%) experienced improvement in MR severity or New York Heart Association functional class that was statistically significant but numerically modest. Fourteen (26.9%) patients died or were hospitalized due to HF. These were higher-risk cases with predominantly functional MR who mostly underwent an urgent procedure and exhibited more severe HF indices before the intervention, as well as an attenuated 1-month clinical and echocardiographic response. Overall, 1-year course was comparable to that experienced by patients who underwent only a first transcatheter edge-to-edge repair at our institution (n=902). Tricuspid regurgitation of greater than moderate grade was the only baseline parameter to independently predict the primary outcome. Conclusions Repeat mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is feasible, safe, and clinically effective, especially in non-functional MR patients without concomitant significant tricuspid regurgitation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) morphologic progression in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC) has not been well studied. We evaluated serial echocardiographic changes in LV morphology. METHODS: Serial echocardiograms in AHC patients were assessed. LV morphology was categorized according to the presence of an apical pouch or aneurysm, and LV hypertrophic severity and extent; relative, pure, and apical-mid type defined as mild (<15 mm thickness) apical hypertrophy, significant (≥15 mm) apical hypertrophy, and both apical and midventricular hypertrophy, respectively. Adverse clinical events and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) extent on cardiac magnetic resonance were evaluated for each morphologic type. RESULTS: In 41 patients, 165 echocardiograms (maximal interval: 4.2 [IQR, 2.3-11.8] years) were evaluated. Morphologic changes were observed in 19 (46%) patients. Eleven (27%) patients displayed the progression of LV hypertrophy toward pure or apical-mid type. Five (12%) and 6 (15%) patients developed new pouches and aneurysms. Patients with progression tended to be younger (50 ± 15.6 vs 59 ± 14.4 years, P = 0.058) and had a longer period of follow-up (12 [5-14] vs 3 [2-4] years, P < 0.001). During a follow-up of 7.6 (IQR 3.0-12.1) years, 21 (51%) experienced clinical events. The relative, pure, and apical-mid types showed different LGE extents (2%, 6%, and 19%, P = 0.004). Patients with severe hypertrophic and apical involvement showed higher clinical event rates. CONCLUSIONS: About half of AHC patients had a progression of LV morphology to more hypertrophic involvement and/or an apical pouch or aneurysm formation. Advanced AHC morphologic types were associated with higher event rates and scar burdens.

RESUMO

Few studies have compared the clinical outcomes between valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV-TAVR) with new-generation valves and re-operative surgical aortic valve replacement (Redo-SAVR). We compared the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent ViV-TAVR with those of patients who underwent Redo-SAVR at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center between 2015 and 2021. New-generation valves were used for ViV-TAVR. A propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics. The primary end point was all-cause mortality at 30 days and 2 years. In-hospital procedural and clinical outcomes were also compared between the groups. A total of 256 patients (140 who underwent ViV-TAVR and 116 who underwent Redo-SAVR) were eligible for PSM. In the unmatched cohort, patients in the ViV-TAVR group were older and had more co-morbidities than those in the Redo-SAVR group. After PSM, there were no significant differences in all-cause death between the ViV-TAVR and Redo-SAVR groups at 30 days (3.9% vs 2.6%, p = 0.65) or 2 years (6.5% vs 7.8%, p = 0.75). The incidences of stroke and heart failure rehospitalization were similar at 30 days and 2 years. The cumulative complication rates during hospitalization were significantly lower in the ViV-TAVR group than in the Redo-SAVR group (11.7% vs 28.6% p = 0.015). The long-term outcomes of ViV-TAVR using new-generation valves were similar to those of Redo-SAVR, although ViV-TAVR was associated with lower rates of in-hospital complications.

RESUMO

AIMS: To explore the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for primary mitral regurgitation (MR) according to the presence of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction post-procedure. METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively analysed 317 individuals [median age 83 (interquartile range, 75-88) years, 197 (62.1%) males] treated with an isolated, first-time TEER that was concluded by a successful clip deployment. Stratified by LVEF change at 1-month compared with baseline, the cohort was evaluated for residual MR and heart failure (HF) indices up to 1-year, as well as all-cause mortality and HF hospitalizations at 2-years. Overall, 212 (66.9%) patients displayed LVEF reduction, which was mainly driven by lowered total stroke volume and diffuse hypocontractility. While post-procedural MR, transmitral mean pressure gradient, and functional status were comparable in the two study groups, patients with LVEF reduction exhibited a greater decline in filling pressures intra-procedurally; left ventricular mass index, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, and serum natriuretic peptide level at 1-month; and walking limitation at 1-year. Also, by 2 years, they were less likely to die (13.3% vs. 5.7%, P = 0.019), be readmitted for HF (17.1% vs. 9.0%, P = 0.033), and experience either of the two (23.8% vs. 12.7%, P = 0.012). Lastly, LVEF reduction was the only 1-month echocardiographic parameter to independently confer an attenuated risk for the composite of deaths or HF hospitalizations (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.10-0.78, P = 0.016). CONCLUSION: LVEF reduction at 1-month post-TEER for primary MR is associated with better clinical outcomes, possibly reflecting a more pronounced unloading effect of the procedure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) adversely affects prognosis following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). We aimed to derive a risk stratification tool for patients undergoing TEER for mitral regurgitation while exhibiting significant TR. METHODS: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of 217 consecutive individuals referred to an isolated mitral TEER who had moderate-to-severe or greater TR at baseline. The primary outcome was the 1-year composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalizations. The cohort was randomly split in a 75%-to-25% ratio, creating train (n = 163) and test (n = 54) datasets. Model development, discrimination, and calibration were based on the train dataset. Internal validation was applied to the test dataset. RESULTS: Overall, 81 (37.3%) patients experienced the primary outcome. After multivariable analysis, a score for predicting the primary outcome was constructed that utilized a 0-to-3 scale, in which each point represented one of three baseline variables independently associated with this combined endpoint: serum B-natriuretic peptide (BNP) level >1,000 pg/mL, qualitative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on transthoracic echocardiogram, and cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). C-statistic of the model was 0.66 (95% CI, 0.57-0.75, p = 0.002) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.61-0.89, p = 0.004) in the train and test datasets, respectively-representing comparable performance to current, more complex tools. Neither this BNP-RV-CIED (BRC) score nor other models were prognostically meaningful in 32 patients excluded from the main analysis who underwent a combined mitral-tricuspid TEER. CONCLUSION: The BRC score is a simple clinical prediction tool that may aid in the triage of isolated mitral TEER candidates with significant pre-existing TR.

RESUMO

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can provide valuable information for mitral assessment, but its role in transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) planning has been poorly elucidated. We aimed to compare MDCT with 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) for TEER preprocedural evaluation. We analyzed the preprocedural MDCT and 3D-TEE of 108 consecutive patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) who underwent MitraClip implantation. The levels of agreement for the etiology and mechanism of MR, mitral calcification, mitral annulus, and mitral valve orifice area (MVOA) measurements were compared between MDCT and 3D-TEE data. Receiver-operating-characteristic curves were generated for mitral annulus area and MVOA using a low mean transmitral pressure gradient at discharge (<5 mm Hg) as the state variable, and the primary outcome of all-cause mortality or rehospitalization for heart failure at 1 year was compared between MDCT's and 3D-TEE's MVOA <4-cm2 cutoff. Good levels of agreement between MDCT and 3D-TEE were observed for determining the etiology (κ = 0.81) and mechanism (κ = 0.62) of MR but not for grading mitral calcification (κ = 0.31 to 0.35). The correlations between MDCT and 3D-TEE measurements were strong for mitral annulus area (r = 0.90) and good for MVOA (r = 0.73). Furthermore, no significant differences in the area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve to predict low transmitral pressure gradient at discharge or the primary outcome at 1 year were detected between MDCT- and 3D-TEE-derived parameters (all p >0.05). In conclusion, in patients who underwent TEER with MitraClip, a high degree of agreement for comprehensive evaluation of MR and prediction of clinical outcomes between MDCT and 3D-TEE was observed.
